This chart assumes 8 ticks Shadow Word: Pain as a baseline (SWP+2 @ 8085 Haste; OR SWP+2 w/T14 4P @ 6652 Haste) and does not count proc’d ticks procing more ticks (yo dawg…). To get, on average, at least 1 proc of this set bonus you would only need ~16.9% Crit to have a chance of at least 1 proc occurring or ~6.9% Crit if you are also using the T14 2P Bonus. Moving from T14 4P to T15 2P will be an immediate upgrade, even without factoring in increased stats. These values figure 14% Mastery — if we assume 30% Mastery then the Crit% required is (roughly) 14.9% Crit and 4.9% Crit w/T14 2P; for 40% Mastery the Crit% required drops to ~13.9% Crit and ~3.9% Crit, respectively.

• Shadow Priests have raised concerns about both of their T15 bonuses being tied to Shadowy Apparitions. Know that we have improved Shadowy Apparitions. Previously, there was a cap of 4 out at once. In build 16446, that’s raised to 5 if you have 2T15. However in the next build, we just raised the cap to 10, which you should basically never hit. And more importantly, we significantly improved their AI. Please try them out. If they give you problems, please be as specific as possible about those situations.
